Testosterone Replacement Therapy

Feel Like Your Old Self Again

If you are a male aged 30 or older and feel tired or sluggish, suffer from a lack of sex drive, and have feelings of sadness or depression, you may benefit from testosterone replacement therapy. Testosterone replacement therapy can increase energy levels and sex drive and enhance mood. At Windward Healthcare Center, we offer testosterone replacement therapy as part of our commitment to natural wellness care and whole body health.

As men age, the amount of testosterone in their bodies will gradually decline. This decline typically begins around the age of 30 and continues throughout their lives. In some cases, another health condition or disease may also trigger this decline. This includes injury or infection to the testicles, certain genetic abnormalities, some medications, a dysfunction in the pituitary gland, stress, alcoholism, and congenital conditions like Kallman’s Syndrome. Most men with a testosterone deficiency, however, have this condition naturally as the result of aging.

Decreased testosterone levels causes a decrease in sex drive, depressed mood, difficulties concentrating and remembering things, a decreased sense of well-being, and erectile dysfunction. Decreased testosterone levels can also affect the body’s physical appearance and health. These changes include a decrease in muscle mass accompanied by an increase in body fat, changes to the body’s cholesterol metabolism, a decrease in hemoglobin and increased risk for mild anemia, a decrease in body hair, and an increased risk for developing osteoporosis.

If you have symptoms of a testosterone deficiency, schedule an appointment with our healthcare team. We offer full diagnostic testing in-house including blood, urine and EKG tests as well as medical evaluation.
